Well, pyalsaaudio is still in beta (it's their second release)... maybe
for stability reasons we should wait to use it?
There are lots of applications out there that are beta tagged and quite
stable, unless a package is being actively developed then either
it's just doesn't work or it's stable and the developer just doesn't
have the confidence to say it's stable. pyalsaaudio seems that they
make a release not so often 9 months so I would guess that it is stable.
Have fun,

Hi all,
I've been having a few problems with my new onboard soundcard (sis7012),
because it has no hardware volume control available. As a consequence of
this, the only way to set the volume in freevo (or anything else) is to
use alsa's plugin dmix.
The way ossmixer was made couldn't work with my setup, so as a result of
my frustration, I edited the ossmixer.py plugin to make it use amixer to
set the volume.
Then, as it doesn't qualify as 'oss'mixer anymore, I changed its name
and cleaned up the code a bit.
I don't know if there's a library to control alsa devices with python,
so I only used os.system('amixer ...') calls to set the volume, but it
seems to work really well (even to control different channels
apprently).

aybe this plugin could find its place in the default plugins, i think
it can be useful for someone :)
alsamixer.py is included, so ... do whatever you want with it :)
Cool, I'll give it a go, the oss mixer code is not too nice.
Cheers,
Duncan
